Do you like the name Erica?

[shockers]

Just wondered...

[belgo]

yes. Not Eric though.

[pearlym]

no, too harsh

[tummytickler]

No. But I really like Eric!

[Magaly]

Not sure. I don't dislike it. I know a child called Erica. I would have thought of it as dated, but I guess that's no bad thing when you're the only one in the whole school. Maybe even surrounding schools. (if you care about that kind of thing).

[mathanxiety]

I know one Erica too. I've always thought it was a strange name unless there was an Eric in the family who she was named after. It's not as bad as Nigella though.

[Lumpity]

I love it. I love the 'ca sound at the end!

[Zoidberg]

Yes.

[flopsy1974]

Yes. Not heard it for a while though.

[MagdaMagyarMadam]

prefer Heather

[minipie]

Nope sorry

Sounds a bit too "we wanted a boy" for me...

[Ishoglomo]

I really like it

Also like Eric.

[fireandlife]

It makes me think of 'Erica the Sneak' from Theo O Sullivan Twins by Enid Blyton.

[Lionstar]

Erika and Erik are on my secret fantasy list

[muminthemiddle]

No I don't like it. Don't like any of those names that sound like a girl has been named after her father iyswim such as Nigella, Roberta, Thomasina etc.

[MmeLindt]

It is my MIL's name, but spelled Erika.

Old fashioned name in Germany, akin to Mabel or Daphne.

It is quite pretty but reminds me of MIL.

[diddl]

No, don´t like it.

[neolara]

I'm afraid every time I catch sight of this thread in active convos instead of reading Erica I read Erotica!

[SirBoobAlot]

You have to spell it Erika though - or its boring Tis my name...

[swanandduck]

I like it.

[IngridFletcher]

It is one of my DD's middle names - she is named after an Eric.

I like it.

[serin]

Love it.
My sister chose it for her two DC's but they were both boys and she didn't like Eric at all.
